Only the low bytes are compared. Originally, signed 16-bit compares were optimized into signed 8-bit compares. But, the sign bits are in the high bytes; and, they're equal. Therefore, the low bytes always must be compared as unsigned numbers.
Fixes#1348.
The old broken code defers the count until the end of the (parent function's) argument list. But, a nested function call clears the pointer to the deferred type. That leads to an access violation.
The new code defers only until the end of each argument. Fixes#1320.
Test expressions like `unsigned char x = ...; ... = x / 2;`
These use `int` constants with values representable by
`unsigned int` / `unsigned char`, so using unsigned codegen should
be possible.
Additional tests for #1308. These are things we want to generate better
code for, so add tests that the behavior doesn't change.
In g_typeadjust, before we apply the integral promotions, we check if
both types are unsigned char. If so, we promote to unsigned int, rather
than int, which would be chosen by the standard rules. This is only a
performance optimization and does not affect correctness, as the flags
returned by g_typeadjust are only used for code generation, and not to
determine types of other expressions containing this one. All unsigned
char bit-patterns are valid as both int and unsigned int and represent
the same value, so either signed or unsigned int operations can be used.
This special case part is not duplicated by ArithmeticConvert.
Partial fix for #1308.
Both signed and unsigned chars are promoted to int by C's evaluation
rules. It is more efficient to use unsigned operations when possible,
however. These tests will help test the correctness of optimizations
doing that. See #1308.
Partial fix for ICE in #1211. This may fix enough to allow #1049 to be
fixed.
When merging labels, keep the first label with a ref that has no JumpTo;
this is a data segment label, used by computed gotos.
The real fix is to track and rewrite labels in data, but this is more
involved.
Fixes#1267
Avoid ICE, but treat plain int bit-fields declared via typedef as
signed rather than unsigned. It is more efficient to treat them
as unsigned, but this requires distinguishing int from signed int,
and this is curently not done.
